Archaeologists exploring tunnels under the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, a pyramid 30 miles from Mexico City, not only found three chambers (when they only expected one), but came across hundreds of mysterious metal spheres with unknown purpose.

Instead of calling these “metal orbs”, they could have called them “chunks of fool’s gold” (pyrite, iron sulfide), but that would be lying, which is their profession — they wouldn’t get government grants.

("If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all" - Isaiah 7:9)

Naw, just think, ‘What do you do with someone’s heart after you rip it from their body while still beating?’ MAke a little icon of it of course, then toss it in the ‘latrine’/tunnel while the folks aren’t looking.

Reminds me of the story where the guy inherited a house and the basement was full of round metal balls the size of tennis balls. He had no idea what they for, but figured they should be good for and thought and thought. Still no ideas.

So he decided to bring three of them to the mine where he worked and leave them in the lunch room to see if anyone did anything creative and he might get an idea.

The first day he left them on the tables where the engineers sat, figuring they would be the brightest and most ingenious; but they just rolled them around or bonked them together a bit while they talked.

The second day he left them where the mechanics sat, but pretty much the same thing except more horseplay and anatomical jokes.

The third day he left them where the miners sat. By the end of lunch they had broken one, lost one, and someone stole the third one.
